To evaluate the effect of contrast material on left ventricular (LV) function, LV pressure and its first derivative were continuously monitored during and after LV cineangiography with Mikro-tip^<&oR;> angiocatheters in 15 normal subjects (Group 1) and patients with coronary artery disease (CAD)0 without LV asynergy (Group 2, n=10), with mild asynergy (Group 3, n=12) and severe asynergy (Group 4, n=13). In all 4 groups, systolic hypotension, decrease of negative dP/dt, and prolonged time constant of LV pressure fall (T) were observed in 30 seconds after dye injection, and all these parameters returned to the control value in 2 minutes. LV end-diastolic pressure (EDP) began to elevate at one minute, reached its peak at 2 minutes, and stayed elevated for 7 minutes. Although significant decrease in LV systolic pressure was seen, indexes of LV contractility, peak positive dP/dt and (dP/dt)/DP_<40>, showed increase in all groups. NO different directional changes of these parameters were observed among 4 groups. The degree of LVEDP elevation was parallel to the diastolic elastic stiffness constant (K) in Group 1 (r=0.64, (p<0.05). It is concluded that systolic hypotension and prolonged relaxation are only transient, and elevation of LVEDP after the contrast material injection seems to be the effect of only acute volume overload.
